Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service 185
If Global Controller Address(es) is configured, iDRAC6 continues to query
the Global Catalog. If additional privileges are retrieved from the Global
Catalog, these privileges will be accumulated.
Does iDRAC6 always use LDAP over SSL?
Yes. All the transportation is over secure port 636 and/or 3269.
During test setting, iDRAC6 does a LDAP CONNECT only to help isolate
the problem, but it does not do an LDAP BIND on an insecure connection.
Why does iDRAC6 enable certificate validation by default?
iDRAC6 enforces strong security to ensure the identity of the domain
controller that iDRAC6 connects to. Without certificate validation, a hacker
could spoof a domain controller and hijack the SSL connection. If you choose
to trust all the domain controllers in your security boundary without
certificate validation, you can disable it through the GUI or the CLI.
Does iDRAC6 support the NetBIOS name?
Not in this release.
What should I check if I cannot log into the iDRAC6 using Active Directory?
You can diagnose the problem by clicking Test Settings at the bottom of the
Active Directory Configuration and Management page in the iDRAC6
Web-based interface. Then, you can fix the specific problem indicated by the
test results. For additional information, see "Testing Your Configurations" on
page 177.
Most common issues are explained in this section; however, in general you
should check the following:
1
Ensure that you use the correct user domain name during a login and not
the NetBIOS name.
2
If you have a local iDRAC6 user account, log into the iDRAC6 using your
local credentials.
After you are logged in:
a
Ensure that you have checked the
Enable Active Directory
option on
the iDRAC6
Active Directory Configuration and Management
page.
b
Ensure that the DNS setting is correct on the iDRAC6 Networking
configuration page.
